Vehicle gateway device and interactive cohort graphical user interfaces associated therewith

Abstract

A system receives vehicle metric data from a gateway device connected to a vehicle. The vehicle gateway device gathers data related to operation of the vehicle and/or location data. The system receives data from multiple vehicles and multiple fleets. The system uses machine learning to identify cohorts for fleets. The system calculates metrics for fleets and benchmarks for the cohorts. The system presents the metrics and benchmarks in a graphical user interface.
